Vision of the Uncreated Light (Golgotha song)

Ok, this is a little dorky, but . . . in the novel I'm working on, there's a band (Golgotha), and I've been writing the lyrics to their songs. You know, just for fun. But some of them are actually starting to read like they could be real songs (I might get my brother to write the music to them). For now, they're just lyrics, but imagine them in a blackened death metal style (A Hill to Die Upon's Holy Despair album was what I was thinking). This one would have been written a while after the events of the story.

Vision of the Uncreated Light(Golgotha song. Lyrics by Leon/Azrael)

Crush my head and snap my spineHurl me from heaven and let me fall

Just let me see. . .Let me see

Thick darkness in the templeThe heavens stormed in smokeLet me see you face to faceThe starless all, the night and dayBehind beginning of the world. . .Let me speak your name and dieAnd I will seeAnd I will see

Face to face with myselfI see the skin shrinking close to the boneI see the eyes that stare without seeingAnd I know that somewhere, someoneWill not wake up tomorrow. . .Face to face with truthThe wind unwinds my assumptionsThe cold unravels my house of cardsAnd I. . .am terrified

Okay, so with the first one, I didn't end up making it into a song, but I figured out that it sounded pretty cool as recited poetry with music playing behind it. So I added some clips, layered it over a Crimson Moonlight instrumental, and made it into a kind of film collage. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBLgNxyESOg

"So long is the way to the unknown, long is the way we have come. . ." ~ Turisas, Five Hundred and One

"[An artist is] an idiot babbling through town. . .crying, 'Dreams, dreams for sale! Two for a kopek, two for a song; if you won't buy them, just take them for free!'" ~ Michael O' Brien, Sophia House

Christ is risen from the dead,
trampling on Death by death,
And on those in the tombs,
lavishing light.
